Gripping system for a handle

Abstract

A gripping system for a handle has a cylindrical handle with a handle exterior surface. The system has a flexible gripping wrap with a plurality of outwardly protruding ridges and a plurality of inwardly protruding channels located on a wrap bottom surface. The gripping wrap has a first recessed ledge located on an intersection of a wrap top surface and a wrap second edge and a second recessed ledge located at an intersection of the wrap bottom surface and a wrap fourth edge. The gripping wrap is located on, and flexibly covers at least a portion of the handle exterior surface. The second recessed ledge is adapted to overlay, interface with, and attach to the first recessed ledge.
